New video of 2.0 and Old video of 1.0

• Converts the Grenade Launcher into 1 of 8 types and provides a menu to select the type. Projectiles can ignite infected/players/explosives.
• This plugin was originally part of the Flare and Light Package. I have seperated the Flare, Flashlight and Flare Gun into new plugins.

Thanks:

• SilentBr - for the idea and request.
• Mr.RuyC - For recording a video of the first version and playing for hours and hours testing the plugin on his server.
• nakashimakun - Who came up with the plugin name and the clientprefs code for !flaregun. Also testing the plugin on their server.
• honorcode23, DJ_WEST, AtomicStryker, Boikinov, pimpinjuice and FoxMulder for source code (full credits inside the source).
• Downtown1, ProdigySim and psychonic - For "[EXTENSION] Left 4 Downtown 2" gamedata to stumble players.
• januto - Lots of testing on their server, Spanish translations and the idea for the Sensor type.
• [Resistance] Yoshi - Lots of help testing and ideas about balancing.
• Lux and Timocop for removing gamedata dependency.
• disawar1 - For Russian translations.
• januto - For Spanish translations.
• Dont Fear The Reaper - For German translations.
• HarryPotter - For Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese translations.
• NanX, japan555, CeeJ, Farmer, SilentBr, sapphire989, Visual77, Mr. Man, disawar1, alexip121093, xioSlayer and everyone else who helped testing, it's been fun!

Types:

Stock (grenade launcher):
Default explosion with no effects. The speed and gravity is affected by this plugins cvar.

Flare (stock explosion):
As above but with Flare and Light effects.

Sticky Flare (no explosion):
Flare projectile which sticks to world surfaces and illuminates the area.

Bounce (ignites, no explosion):
Projectile which bounces and sets explosives/infected/special infected/survivors on fire.

Jump Launcher:
Flare projectiles which stick to world surfaces. Players who jump over their own projectiles and shove (right click) will be teleported away. Players are limited to 3 shots which multiply the force.

Remote (right click):
The Remote bomb sticks to world surfaces and explodes when the owner shoves (right clicks).

Sensor Bomb:
These proximity bombs stick to world surfaces and explode when common or special infected walk near.

Timed Bomb:
Flare projectiles stick to world surfaces and explode after time set by l4d2_flare_gun_time_timed.

Details:

• The !flaregun command displays a menu to select the Grenade Launcher type. Admins with these flags l4d2_flare_gun_menu_admin have access to all types.
• Non-admins can be limited to which types are allowed by setting the cvar: l4d2_flare_gun_types.
• The menu can be displayed when players first pickup the Grenade Launcher, set by l4d2_flare_gun_auto_menu.

• Total shot projectiles are limited to 16 for admins. Total projectiles limited by l4d2_flare_gun_max_total. Non-admins are limited by l4d2_flare_gun_max.
• When the maximum cvar is reached, projectiles which are shot will be deleted and the Grenade Launcher reloaded.
• The plugin also checks the command access overrides for 'sm_flaregun' to allow/disallow the menu to players.

• The projectile speed and gravity can be changed. Negative gravity values will make the projectile fly up and negative speed values will make the projectile fly in the opposite direction from where it was shot.

• Damage from the Jump, Remote, Sensor and Timed explosions is applied in a radius set by l4d2_flare_gun_distance. The further away someone is the less damage is applied.
• The Sensor type has a set trigger radius. To change you must edit the source and replace "models/props/cs_assault/box_stack2.mdl" with a new model of different size.
• Projectiles can ignite players/special infected/explosives when they touch. Damage is applied twice a second on multiple touches and can be controlled by l4d2_flare_gun_hurt and for special infected l4d2_flare_gun_hurt_infected.
